The United States in the Time of Andrew Johnson: 1865-1869

nidottu
This is a short history of the Andrew Johnson years. It is written for the general reader and is meant to be entertaining as well as informative. It is written by a stand-up comedian, Mike Donovan, so expect a wise-crack now and then. Andrew Johnson comes out at least okay in Mike's book. He is not a Johnson basher. Was Andrew Johnson a drunk? Was he illiterate until he met his future wife? Was his impeachment justified? What caused him to break his friendship with General Grant? What did the terms 'redeemer' 'scalawag' and 'bloody shirt' mean? Was Reconstruction a cruel and unjust punishment? This 32,000 word book tries to answer these questions.

This is a 17,000 word history of America in time of Benjamin Harrison. He was the grandson of William Henry Harrison, and his time was part of the so-called Gilded Age. Harrison had a fairly smooth ride, but there was plenty of labor unrest, and he almost went to war with Germany over Samoa, and also had a war scare with Chile over a brawl at the True Blue Saloon in Valapariso. These are the basics, told with clarity and a touch of humor. Read about the New Orleans vigilantes who blamed Italians first, and the tragic final battle of the Indian Wars at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Mike does not take the view that Harrison was a fourth-rate president, just because people today barely know who he was. What counts is how people saw him when he was president, and they saw him with great respect. Read about the Homestead Strike and the meaningof the word 'Sooner.' One penny out of every 100 sales will be donated to the Foundation to Reduce Awareness.

This is a 39,000 word history of the USA from 1901 to 1909, the era of Teddy Roosevelt. Mike's history books are easy to read, are highly opinionated, and include a joke or two along the way. This is part of Mike Donovan's total history of the United States from the Vikings to Obama. It is as basic as a school textbook, but it is written in the key of fun. Read about the Panama Canal, the Russo-Japanese War, the Coal Strike of 1902, the Alaska Boundary Dispute, and Teddy propensity to box people who came to visit him at the White House. The author doesn't love Teddy Roosevelt, but tries to be fair. He feels that Teddy's love of war was unhealthy and that President Roosevelt dragged the USA into foreign policy entanglements that could have, and probably should have, been avoided. This book is in a noce 14-font (calibri) which is very easy on the eye while not being a technically 'large-font' book.
